prayer
for Brian,
a young Zulu, working as a security guard close to the

and Gill Davies (Dar-es-Salaam) -
The plans to hold another ‘Kid’s
Club’ in the barracks have not
transpired due to the ‘link’ with the Army authorities not being
forthcoming.
Pray that there may be another
way to resolve this issue.
William and Eunice
Rea -
BBC
(Berea Bible
College) has plans to start a
purely aural
course designed for those who cannot read or write.
Pray
for William
and others at the
BBC,
as they discuss this with local church leaders. They also hope to go
out to rural areas more often, to run short courses of their choice.
With poor rains recently, and bad harvests, many people who would
like to study the Bible more, are unable to afford to attend
BBC.
 Ron
and Maria Cunningham (Moshi) would
appreciate
prayer as they visit small
assemblies to encourage believers in the faith. One such visit was
to the Little Assembly at
Mawala
recently, where the meeting place, having been destroyed by a
Nocturnal Storm, was under an achaia tree. When
Ron
arrived a man,
Paul,
was sitting under the tree, and several people, including children
arrived as
Ron was speaking. Afterwards,
Paul
made an open profession of faith in Christ.
Pray
for him and for all the believers in these isolated places, and
pray
for the continuation and progress of the Lord’s work in these
regions, and that new workers would be called to serve.
Ron
would also appreciate
prayer
for
his ministry within the
Secondary schools, and for
Maria,
having the opportunity to contact women who appreciate her midwifery
advice and care.

prayer
the

recruitment of some new PBS

been sharing responsibility for a Monday night children’s work held
in a local school. They plan to end the series in

full week of special nightly

pray
for these two ladies, and many like them, dealing with hardships and
sometimes feeling very alone in their faith.

held at the prison.

(Le Havre) -
Allan
would appreciate
prayer
as he compiles the text from about 40 authors for next year’s

prayer
that the task would be completed in good time, to pass to the
printers, and that the calendars will prove helpful for those who
read, and increase their appetite for the Scriptures.

Hamilton (Siena) -
Ruth
would value
prayer as she continues her

teaching. They also ask

make a commitment to Christ, and for
